President Cyril Ramaphosa says there should be no excuse for exploiting children in child labour.

, Ramaphosa says the increasing numbers of children being forced into child labour sets back their efforts to eliminate child labour by 2025.

“Such exploitative labour practices are also disallowed as they impact the child’s spiritual, moral, and social development. Such labour practices rob children of a childhood. They deny them the opportunity to explore, learn, develop and fulfill their potential. Child labour perpetuates the cycle of poverty.

According to the ILO more than 160-million children globally are labourers, while over half of them range between the ages of five and eleven. Government says although there are laws that protect children against child labour and forced labour, members of the public need to increase their efforts of reporting such incidents.“It’s not easy to deal with this problem because we rely on members of the public to come forward and report on these issues, but when our labour inspectors do go out out and visit companies and other areas, they do find children but that is only a small number.

I agree with the president, though there are quite a few things that have no excuse that he keeps making excuses for or allows to happen day in and day out.
